Story
This was the most complex iteration of our Mahia and gin experiments. After trying the Moroccan Martini, I wanted something with even more layers. You suggested building on the Poet’s Dream classic by incorporating Mahia as a bridge between the gin and the Bénédictine. We landed on this specific ratio to ensure the cucumber notes of the gin played nicely with the fig.
Method
- Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice for ~30 seconds.
- Strain into a chilled Nick & Nora or coupe glass.
- Garnish with a thin cucumber ribbon.
